So this would be on the south edge of the property closest to the falls, right? 

This will run along Falls St, parallel to the planned AC Hotel on the site. The location you're talking about will be office and condos, if developed as originally planned.

Ive seen the plans for the hotel as presented...pretty bad, but they will be drastically changed anyway. 

No they won't. The hotel has already been approved by the DRB: http://gsabusiness.com/news/55328-camperdown-buildings-approved-by-review-board

I see. Isn't the office/condo building supposed to be ~12 stories also?

@ausrutherford-What is so bad about the hotel?

[mallguy]

The apartment building is UGLY.

Faddish architecture isn't usually a good idea, and the boxy architecture fad since the '90s won't last forever.

Imagine a suburban hotel...only in the West End with multiple Main St. retail stores, but no individual doors to each. It was slab sided and 6 stories one side without the required setback.

From the article on UBJ:

This is definitely an improvement over some of the earlier designs.

Looks good to me:

Interesting structure now...will appear impressive on S.Main. Looks like it will be a fun place to reside.

Should see some dirt next week.

I like it: http://sc-greenville.civicplus.com/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Item/2598?fileID=6918 Looks to be at least 130 feet tall on the end closest to the new office building for the Greenville News. 

[B&R]

That is bigger than I was expecting.  It looks like the equivalent of around 15 stories from the Falls Street elevation lower end.

[motonenterprises]

This is nice and adds lots of density with some height. What's the start date on this?

So now that the dine in movie theater is off the books can we get one someplace else?

Went by today around 11 AM, no activity at all. Saw one piece of equipment on the Falls St. side that was not being used. Slow going so far.

Appears entire project will be 5+ years for completion. Any thoughts about time table?

I thought the last I heard was 2018.  

The Apartment building  AND Garage were approved by DRB tonight.

Thanks....that would be awesome! All the new projects downtown have moved along in a diligent manner...thought this was so massive/intricate that it would require longer time to complete it. Looking forward to seeing the rendering of the office/condo building...hope it is taller than current plans. Would be awesome if a Corp. will anchor for its headquarters. 

[gman430]

The reason the project has a several year build out is due to the Greenville News having to move into their new digs before construction can start on the rest of the project. For example, the hotel won't start construction until 2017.

Did Trehel go bankrupt or something? What's the hold up?

Never underestimate delays in private construction...

Not impatient. Just trying to figure out what the hold up is. They have site grading permits and the fencing is up around the site perimeter so that's not the issue. They also told GSA Business that grading was going to start a few weeks ago which still hasn't happened yet.
